Hash Brown Egg Sandwiches May Make You Give Up McMuffins Forever

When McDonald's released the McGriddle in 2003, it transformed the way people thought about breakfast sandwiches. English muffins, bagels, croissants, biscuits, toast—all seemed pretty run-of-the-mill, but mini pancakes with studded with pockets of syrup? Game. Changed.

There's no reason to grate fresh potatoes, unless you're really in the mood to do so (and, um, who is?). Grab the frozen kind, let them thaw while you fry bacon, then use a tea towel or paper towels to wring those taters of any excess water. That will keep the egg mixture from getting too watery, so the patties hold their shape.

A mason jar lid works wonderfully here, especially if you're the type who's oddly mesmerized by things that are all just the right size (and, um, who isn't? Oh, most people? Huh.). You can use the lid to form the hash brown patties, and when you're done, crack an egg into it, so the white cooks to exactly the same size as the buns. No spillover, because you're a pro like that.
